Health Overview - Vaccines - DietHealth Overview
We formed Canine Health Concern to discover why so many dogs are
ill and dying years before their time. The aim was to find a way to
have healthy, long-lived dogs. Thousands of dog owners worldwide have
found the way, and rarely need to take their dogs to a vet – by
following these simple principles. Ill health is caused by:Genes
Our practice of choosing mates for domestic animals has meant that
the likelihood of passing on genetic defects has increased. Animals
in the wild choose mates using their sense of smell. They seek good
health in their mates, and are looking for an individual who is
genetically dissimilar to themselves. When breeding for the show ring,
we’re doing the opposite. Perhaps we should think about this. Proper
husbandry can, however, minimise the chance of these faults showing
themselves. For example, hip dysplasia is thought to be genetic, but
research shows that it can be avoided with proper diet and vitamin C
supplementation. Vaccines are known to make dogs develop
autoantibodies to their own DNA – so by minimising or even avoiding
vaccines, we can perhaps help dogs over generations. Toxins
There is no doubt that chemicals such as pesticides, weed killers,
fungicides and domestic products like air fresheners and cleaning
products, can cause cancer and other illnesses. This includes many flea
control treatments which can cause cancer. We think they’re safe – but
they may not be. Canine Health Concern brings information to light
about these products, and finds safer natural alternatives. Pharmaceutical drugs
Conventional vets offer steroids, non-steroidal
anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), and antibiotics when less harmful
alternatives might suffice. Don’t get us wrong – these drugs can be
life-saving. But sometimes natural alternatives might be better.
Canine Health Concern researches the options for you, and points you
towards safer products. Complementary therapies available for dogs
include chiropractic, EFT, acupuncture, homoeopathy, kinesiology,
hands-on healing, nutritional therapy, TTouch, and so much more. We’ve
seen these therapies work wonders for our dogs, and we’re happy to
share our experiences. Become a member of Canine Health Concern, and
take action to see your dogs thrive. Bacterial and viral invasion
Just like humans, dogs can be affected by bacteria and viruses.
We believe that the best thing you can do for your dogs in this respect
is to feed appropriately to boost their immune systems, and explore the
many natural options that can help your dog withstand disease. Stress
Too much stress, whether you’re human or animal, can lead to ill
health. Many of the complementary therapies help to reduce stress, and
many of them work well for dogs. As a Canine Health Concern member,
you’ll receive regular updates that address the stress issue, and we
even offer workshops to help you minimise stress for you and your
dogs. Vaccine damage
Our dogs are over-vaccinated, and vaccines come with horrendous
side-effects. Click on the link at the top of this page for more information – because the
vaccine damage problem is something you have the power to do something
about. It’s hard to make decisions when you’re simply doing what other
people tell you to do – so we urge you to make use of the books,
articles, newsletters and other resources that are available, so that
you can make choices from knowledge rather than pressure. Diet
If your dogs aren’t getting the vital nutrients they need, then
illness is sure to follow. Click on the link at the top of this page for more information
on canine diet. If you do this for your dog, he is likely to reward
you with many years of companionship. There are also many books
available to help you with your dog’s diet, detailed on our web site
and in our newsletters. It’s not difficult to feed your dogs a healthy
diet, but it helps to be informed. Back to A to Z
